Chapter 201 A Dark Future

Although the explosive opening may greatly affect the viewing experience of the rest of the show, from the perspective of the production team, it is still a win overall.

Chi Leying's performance was a pleasant surprise. The official version of "Youth" adds another memorable moment to the show, which is obviously a good thing.

As for the situation in the last episode where the opening was amazing but no one followed, that will definitely not happen this time, because the "culprit" behind all of this is the final act.

Even if "Youth" has a spectacular opening, the production team still believes that Yu Wei can handle the situation. As long as he can recover in the end, it won't be considered a case of starting strong but ending weak.

Given Yu Wei's skill level, it shouldn't be a bad ending, right? It should be...

"Your song is really good."

Su Xinnan emphasized three syllables in her sentence, and her gaze toward Yu Wei was somewhat gloomy. She had originally wanted to prove herself, but she was crushed before she even had a chance to go on stage.

In fact, she knew that Yu Wei hadn't done anything and had no direct connection to the matter; at most, he had just created the tools for the crime.

Therefore, she wasn't complaining, but rather feeling bitter. If she had also had Yu Wei's song, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain.

Su Xinnan is capable of accepting defeat. Xiao Chi's performance in this match was indeed excellent. Not to mention herself, even Teacher Meng might not have been able to keep up.

If we can't turn the tide, we might as well give up.

"They sing well."

Yu Wei didn't want to tell her that this was just the initial form of "Youth," and that it was already quite good. "Then let's try listening to the adapted version later."

Although Nan-jie probably won't even go to that party that hurt her...

As Chi Leying's performance drew to a close and the music gradually faded, she softly uttered the last line of lyrics, as gentle yet powerful as a whisper.

Objectively speaking, Chi Leying's singing was decent, with no major mistakes, but also lacking in technique; her strength lay in the atmosphere.

She has a strong ability to engage the audience, and the accompaniment and harmonies from the music teacher greatly enhanced the performance, resulting in a stage effect that far exceeded expectations.

But all of this is based on the fact that she sang "Youth," a song that already had popularity and was widely sung. It's not certain that she would have achieved such a good effect if she had sung another song.

The singing segment just now was very well received. I feel that everyone in the audience except for Rio Sakuratani participated, since she can't sing.

This is definitely a difficult event to take on; I wonder who's so unlucky...

Under Yu Wei's probing gaze, Su Xinnan calmly stood up, completely devoid of the resentment and heartache she had felt earlier. Let it all end; she was already tired.

The audience was still caught up in the melody of "Youth" and their minds were filled with the repeated phrase "I am still the same youth I used to be." When they followed the performance at that moment, the result was predictable.

Su Xinnan's song received a lukewarm response. She originally wanted to play the nostalgia card with her old songs, but people are clearly not immersed in them now and only cooperated symbolically.

"Luckily, I wasn't the second one to go on stage, otherwise I would have been in serious trouble too."

Meng Han's casual remark startled Chi Leying, who had just sat down. It was normal for Sister Nan to be unable to handle the situation since she wasn't a professional singer. But Teacher Meng was a master, how could he not even be able to handle her situation?
Is he just flattering himself?

Chi Leying didn't know Meng Han, but Yu Wei did. Teacher Meng was a very honest person and rarely told lies.

It's true that his body was on the show but his mind was in Beijing. He's been busy preparing songs for his concert lately, so he didn't spend much time on this episode.

It's true that it's hard to choose songs about traditional Chinese medicine. He couldn't find any suitable ones, nor did he have time to adapt them, so he just picked one randomly.

So it's true that he couldn't keep up; he hadn't prepared much, so naturally the performance wasn't very good.

I was originally thinking that Yu Wei would be the finale, and that his presence in one episode wouldn't be too noticeable, but who knew that Chi Leying would blow up the stage at the beginning, and now he has nowhere to hide...

Sure enough, when Meng Han was the third to take the stage, the atmosphere was still stuck in the "Youth" stage.

There's a reason this song became so popular and was even chosen by the official organizers. The melody is catchy and addictive, and once you hear it, you can't forget it even if you want to.

However, Meng Han's skills were ultimately on point. Even though he wasn't fully prepared, he made timely adjustments on the spot and stunned the audience with an impromptu blues scale.

While it wasn't quite a miraculous turn of events, at least the situation was stabilized and things didn't go wrong.

This style of play is actually more about self-preservation; it's purely about showing off skills without explanation, and it failed to ease the atmosphere on the field, but he himself was unaffected.

"Are you leaving me with a difficult problem?"

This was the first time Yu Wei had encountered such a situation. The game started off spectacularly, but he missed the second and third catches, and the ball ended up in his hands instead.

Unfortunately, he was also a crippled giant in this episode. Tian Jun's singing ability was negative, so no amount of support could help.

At this moment, no one wanted Yu Wei to step up more than the production team, otherwise this episode would really have a terrible ending...

The moment was finally here. Seeing Yu Wei and Tian Jun walk onto the stage, Qi Luoan and Sakura Rio instantly became excited.

The song this time seems to be called "Tomorrow Will Be Better," let them hear how good it is.

The performance was about to begin, but the two people's positions on the stage were very strange. Tian Jun was clearly one body length ahead, while Yu Wei was standing quietly behind him.

Why do we look like we don't know each other at all?
As the accompaniment began, Tian Jun let out a whimper, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and everyone suddenly had a bad feeling...

"Gently awaken the sleeping soul."

Tian Jun tried to keep up with the melody, but each note was out of control, like a wild horse that had broken free.

The word "gently" is like a sharp whistle, rising very high, while "heart" suddenly plummets, like a stone rolling down a valley, leaving an echo.

That simple sentence sent chills down everyone's spines.

The audience was at a loss for words to describe what they were hearing. The melodious accompaniment sounded like a saw tearing apart wood—it was simply awful. The audience's expressions shifted from anticipation to astonishment. Was this really Yu Wei's song?
With such a melodious tune, this song should be very pleasant to listen to, but it's obvious that this amateur guest can't sing at all.

However, the torment had only just begun. Tian Jun was still singing solo, but the tune had completely deviated from the melody, going off in circles and making it as awful as possible.

It's like a radio with a bad signal, frantically switching between multiple channels.

Why isn't Yu Wei making a move yet? Shouldn't he be playing support and carrying the amateur guests? That's what he's been doing for the past few episodes...

If we don't take action soon, they won't be able to take it anymore.

But Yu Wei showed no intention of making a move, and his expression as he stood by was even somewhat indifferent.

Qi Luoan and the other two were dumbfounded. Even a good song can't withstand this kind of abuse. Aren't they going to do anything about it?
This song is supposed to be called "Tomorrow Will Be Better," but after listening to it for a long time, they only felt that the future was bleak.

Being out of tune isn't scary; what's scary is the rhythm. Tian Jun was a full two beats behind the accompaniment. The accompaniment had already reached the line "Sing out your passion," but he was still stubbornly asking, "Burning the heart of a young man."

The audience was so engrossed they wanted to scream for help; they had never felt a song last so long.

Rio Sakuratani, who can't understand Chinese songs, is dumbfounded. Senior Yu Wei, why are you just watching?

Use your amazing singing skills to think of a solution!
Just consider it for the sake of the audience, how about we use his support skills?

Although Tian Jun's singing was terrible, it must be admitted that he successfully pulled the audience out of the atmosphere of "Youth".

Singing like that, it's hard not to pull it back...

Just tell me whether you pulled it back or not, don't worry about how you pulled it back.

Meng Han and Su Xinnan exchanged a glance subconsciously. Yu Wei wasn't going to take the bait, so he flipped the table.

Just when the audience was on the verge of collapse, Tian Jun's segment finally ended, but Yu Wei still showed no intention of making a move.

Before they could even think, a clear, spring-like child's voice rang out, singing the prayerful verses.

Who can disregard their own home?
Leaving aside childhood memories
Who could bear to see his sorrow from yesterday?

Take our smiles away.

These two questions are full of penetrating power. The audience felt as if they had come back to life, and the torment they had just endured disappeared. Only the clear child's voice echoed in the air.

It's like hearing celestial music, instantly clearing your ears!
Although the child's voice was a bit immature and lacked skill, compared to the torment just now, the clear and innocent voice was simply too beautiful to bear.

This was recorded by Yu Wei with a children's choir during her singing practice. The recording was too short and her singing wasn't good enough, but it was perfect for taking over the baton.

Tian Jun's singing and the seamless transition between the children's choir perfectly illustrated what it means for tomorrow to be better—not just a little better, but a qualitative leap.

As Yu Wei said, he liked the children's version of the song the most, so after discovering that Tian Jun was "not up to the task", he quickly made this decision to add some spice.

Even if you can't save him by playing support, and even if the numbers are high, multiplying by a negative number will still result in a negative number, so he plans to use addition.

The child's voice grew louder and more resolute, carrying an undeniable sense of hope, successfully leading the audience to truly appreciate the song.

However, that's still not enough; we need to add more...

Yu Wei took a deep breath and finally stepped forward to raise the microphone amidst the audience's anticipation, taking over the second verse after the interlude.

Gently awaken the sleeping soul
Slowly open your eyes
Look at that busy world

Is it still spinning alone, endlessly?

The previously noisy scene instantly quieted down, and Yu Wei's singing voice accurately reached the ears of the audience, elevating their auditory experience to a new level.

If children's choir singing only has emotion but no technique, then Yu Wei has both, and goes a step further.

Hearing this, the audience understood a little. He was truly expressing the theme of "tomorrow will be better" through his actions, and each piece was better than the last.

His singing technique was superb, and his emotions were full of emotion; it's hard to imagine that this is the same song as the beginning segment...

Whether tomorrow will be better or not, we'll know when we look back.

"Look up and search for the wings of the sky"
Migratory birds have appeared.
Bringing famine to distant places

The news is that the relentless flames of war still rage.

The lyrics were originally heavy, but Yu Wei's singing gave it a sense of hope that transcended suffering, which made Meng Han in the guest audience nod repeatedly.

This is indeed the kind of talent Yu Wei should have. The song's theme is excellent, and the performance is top-notch, but isn't this a bit redundant?

He sings so well, having him start the show and then letting Tian Jun sing a few lines might actually be more effective.

The fact that Tian Jun opened the show immediately lowered the overall impression. If Yu Wei had continued to perform later, the performance would have been worse than if he had sung directly.

Yu Wei could naturally understand this as well. Tian Jun's shortfall was too great, and if it was just this, it still wouldn't be enough.

Three stages are not enough to elevate this song.

Keep adding more points for me!

After singing a section, Yu Wei paused, clearly waiting for a new singer to join.

His movements naturally didn't escape the audience's eyes; could he go even further?

Yu Wei's performance was already top-notch; his technique and emotion were both excellent. Who could sing better than him?
How could "Tomorrow Will Be Better" be complete without a galaxy of stars?
